As last reported, January started off wonderfully with President Bev giving her State of the Club assembly, with discussion regarding attendance, membership, and bylaws along with her listing of what we have accomplished and what we are planning.  

Speakers, Awards, Socials

Our January 23rd,  four-club "JIMbalaya" fundraiser for Shelterbox went extremely well, with Harbor Rotary very well represented in beautiful Sausalito.  Also find many pictures on our Facebook page..  Pictured to the left are Jim and Nancy Carriere (the "Jim" in the "JIMbalaya"), John Bottari, and Aref Ahmadia.   SHELTERBOX was the cause and good food was the fun!

On January 12, attorney Lisa Poncia gave an informative and moving analysis of Elder Law and how it applies in Marin, with specifics and case studies that brought out many excellent questions and after-meeting chats.  Her professionalism and knowledge, combined with her obvious empathy with elders, made us all happy we attended.

2014-2015 District Governor Chris Gallagher came to give our Club the award for being the second highest Club in the District in financial contributions to the Foundation.  Her Foundation Chair and our own (former DG) John Bottari was there to present the award to last year's President, Susan Lundy.  Susan said she would put it on our felt banner display right "below Aref's award" since the year before...he got 1st in the District instead of 2nd!!

On January 18, Oak Dowling gave a rousing speech with hand-outs and powerpoint slides on the always interesting topic of the kidnapping of Charles Lindberg's baby boy.
